Santa Monica Dental

What Santa Monica Dental does

Santa Monica Dental operates as a privately held, single-location dental clinic in Santa Monica, California, legally registered under "Clove Dental Santa Monica" and doing business as both "Clove Dental Santa Monica" and "Santa Monica Dental." Founded in 1990, the practice delivers comprehensive dental services spanning preventive care (cleanings, fluoride treatment, sealants, oral cancer screening), restorative treatments (crowns, implants, root canals, bridges, dentures, inlays/onlays), cosmetic procedures (whitening, veneers, bonding), orthodontics (braces, clear aligners including Invisalign), periodontics, oral surgery (extractions, wisdom tooth removal), IV sedation, custom mouth guards, and 24-hour emergency dental care. The clinic uses modern dental technology including digital X-rays, rotary instruments, digital impressions, and advanced imaging for diagnosis and treatment planning.

The practice operates a direct-to-consumer, fee-for-service revenue model, with patients paying for individual procedures at the time of service and the clinic accepting insurance with assistance navigating coverage. Patients are acquired primarily through organic digital channels — the practice maintains an active blog publishing educational dental content on a consistent cadence from 2025 through mid-2026 — and through word-of-mouth within the Santa Monica community. The clinic also appears to be affiliated with the broader Clove Dental network, as appointment scheduling routes through clovedds.com/santa-monica and the practice carries Clove Dental branding on its website and logo.

The clinic is staffed by four clinicians — Dr. Igor Roshkovan, Dr. Marisabel Cristina Correa, Dr. Sanchita Mehra (Periodontist), and Dr. Jovhan Jilbert — supported by hygienists and auxiliary staff, consistent with a headcount of 11–50 employees. There is no evidence of external investment, private equity ownership, or a parent company in the available data; the ownership structure appears to be a small private practice partnership or dentist-owned model. The practice serves only the Santa Monica, CA market and offers no products or services through digital or remote channels.
